I saw this article earlier and can see where the writer is coming from. However, we're still within the first year of the next gen truly starting, and console transitions are always a bit like this.
What makes this generational transition appear worse is that we seem to have a lot of "next-gen" games appearing in a very nice form on the older consoles (out of necessity due to high dev costs). Then we have the lack of backwards compatibility which has resulted in a few "enhanced" versions of last gen games (which for third parties is basically re-releasing the PC version with an 'X1'/'PS4' on the packaging and the odd bit of visual polish). To be fair though, I can think of only 3 games that I could feel "next-gen" (Killzone: SF, infamous: SS and Ryse) to me and that's solely in visual terms. Still early days though.
Can't wait for the first batch of games that really push the envelope (beyond visuals), but I suspect only VR will really make this gen stand out over previous gens.
